Grooming gangs

this may or may not be relevant to the OP. Maybe an Eagle more clever than myself can help us understand the data.......

https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2026/04/20/crime-rates-in-germany-are-falling-but-sexual-offences-are-significantly-on-the-rise

So what has changed in the German demographics past few years that could explain this?

Only a brief read reveals a couple of things.

Firstly, it says “The number of offences committed by "immigrants" also fell by around 9%”. So it is relevant, but not in the way some might have anticipated.

Secondly, whilst the headline mentions the increase in reported rapes it ignores the increase, of almost the same percentage, of murder and manslaughter. This is also relevant because whilst a reported increase could simply mean that more rapes are being reported now because of the attention given to it, it is unlikely that murder or manslaughter goes unreported. Therefore which of these two statistics deserves a headline?

I understand why you would suggest that murder should be the headline but if you look at the actual number of offences then the sexual assault is staggering at 14,500 cases (40 per day).
You suggest that it could be that more rapes are being reported but the article also states, from a study, that only 6% of sexual offences are reported. This means there could be as many as 660 cases per day, which is quite frightening to consider.

And some are dreamt up, which undermines the females who have gone through such a trauma.

Presumably there is actual proof of this
